Yoga
Yoga makes use of gentle stretching poses to help people with ankylosing spondylitis improve flexibility and alleviate pain. Over time, this method can stabilize the core muscles and provide better support for the spine. This is a recommended option to back pain for those who do not improve their symptoms with other treatments. In addition to physical improvements, yoga can benefit mental sides. It can reduce anxiety, depression, and relieve fatigue, which are the direct effects of ankylosing spondylitis. Some helpful yoga poses for ankylosing spondylitis include bridge pose, child’s pose, locust pose, cobra pose, cow pose, cat pose, or mountain pose. [7]
